“Dear Eleanor” (*** out of four) was a sweetly affecting adolescent comedy about two teenage girls (Isabelle Fuhrman and Liana Liberato) who travel across the U.S. in 1962 during the chaos of the Cuban missile crisis in search of Eleanor Roosevelt; along the way, they pick up a friendly escaped convict (Josh Lucas) and a helpful exotic dancer (Jessica Alba). Slice of Americana in the 1960’s never really takes off but is winningly told and acted by all. Director Kevin Connolly (from “Entourage”) shows a good eye for period detail and has a lot of great period music on the soundtrack.
